100 Useless Facts about me

Yesterday's post

So this is the post I managed to type yesterday at work but never got around to posting ...

Today is one of those days .... you know the
ones where you wish you could crawl back into bed and just not see or hear
anything or anyone, or climb a tree and leave this world for a little while.
It's not anything particularly bad I'm just feeling super stressed
at work, deadlines on top of deadlines, with not enough time to get around
to everything. And trying to juggle our home/work/kid schedules and feeling
like I'm failing miserably!

What might be adding to all of this is the
fact that I only had 3 hours of sleep last night and have been drinking
coffee all day to make up for it .... caffeine jitters anyone!

Our weekend was also a blur of activities,
mostly consisting of ferrying the kids around. I did make it to the hairdresser
but my hair did not quite turn out the way I wanted so I have to wait for
2 weeks before I can go back and fix the color. If it still does not look
right I'm tempted to shave it all off again. I kid, I kid ... or am I?
...

We did have a lovely lunch with some friends
yesterday and now Himself and Si are having a beard-off. They are going
to grow their beards for the next 3 months and see who can grow the best/longest
beard. Imagine Duck Dynasty. ... the loser will have the winners name tattooed,
somewhere on their body. Yeah I know it may seem a bit extreme but
you have to admit that it is also a little bit funny, especially since
we are convinced that Si's girlfriend is going to be begging him to shave
before the end of the bet.

Himself and Si are going for the bearded look ... minus the long hair, at least I hope

As for why I only had 3 hours sleep last
night, well, since we only have one car at the moment we have to share
it. Usually this would not be a problem since Himself has his motorbike.
Only problem is that the weather has gone to the dogs (it's been raining
nearly none stop). So last night he had to be at work but Cat had to be
at swimming so we had to go drop her off, then drive to the pub where I
dropped him off, then back to swimming to pick Cat up. Fast forward a couple of
hours and I had to go pick Himself up from the pub. I was so tired that
I was really scared that I was not going to hear my phone when he rant
to tell me to fetch him so I kept on dozing off and waking up every 15
min ... watched a bit of tv, dozed off and woke up again .... by 1:45 I
gave up, and decided to just drive to the pub. We got back home just
after 3. Let me tell you, when the alarm sounded just after 6 this morning
I thought I was going to die! We are going to have to look into getting
a second car, and soon! Going to have to do the same again tonight,
Cat has swimming and Himself has to work ....

I finally replaced my iron this weekend
so I'll be able to start working at reducing the mountain of ironing that
has been piling up.

omg Jo, I can see why you are so exhausted. That's nuts. I admit I am feeling the same this week. I am just hoping that the weekend comes fast and we don't have many plans so I plan on lots of home time.

That sounds brutal! Sleep deprivation is no joke, trust me I know. Since he gets out at 3 and you don't have to be up until 6, can he just take the car to work and then be home before you have to leave? At least you'd get some uninterrupted sleep.

What I'm reading on the train

Who am I?

I am another working mom who is trying to do it all without having to do too much cleaning but who still dreams of living in a house fit for a magazine. All of this while trying to stay sane which can be hard when you’re not a dog person but somehow ended up having 3 dogs and a son who tells you that he loves the dogs more than what he loves you.. But I’ll tell you I'm dreaming of becoming a lady of leisure who will have time to cook healthy meals (which my family will eat), do some DIY, travel and read ... can you blame me? - Go on admit it you would like to be one too!
